WHATSAPP GROUP FOR EXACT Location. 🕗 Departure: 8:05 AM sharp 🕚 Arrival at Norfolk: Around 11:00 AM 🍽️ Pub lunch: 4:00 PM (optional but highly recommended!) 🚌 Return departure: 5:30 PM 🏙️ Arrive back in London: Around 8:30 PM (traffic depending) \-\-\- **🌟 Event Overview** We’re heading to the beautiful beaches of Norfolk to witness one of nature’s most heartwarming sights — hundreds of adorable baby seals! 🦭💙 Every winter, between November and February, the beaches between Horsey and Winterton become home to more than 5,000 Atlantic grey seals, making Norfolk one of the best and largest seal-viewing spots in the world. You’ll see fluffy newborn pups, playful young seals, and giant males lounging on the sand. 🐾 Volunteers will be nearby to answer questions and help ensure everyone enjoys this special wildlife experience safely. After our gentle 6–7 mile easy coastal walk, we’ll head to a local country pub at 4:00 PM for a well-deserved late lunch and a chance to relax, chat, and share photos before heading back to London. 🍻🥧 \-\-\- ***📸 What to Expect*** **✨ Up-close (but respectful!) encounters with baby seals. Close Encounters not always possible. For health and safety reasons. Keep minimum distance of 10 meters for safety reasons.** **🏖️ A scenic beach and dune walk through the Broads National Nature Reserve.** **🌾 Stunning coastal views and charming nearby villages.** **🌤️ A relaxed, friendly group atmosphere with nature lovers like you.** **\-\-\-** ***🦭 A Little History & Fun Facts*** The Atlantic grey seals of Norfolk are one of the largest breeding colonies in England. Each year, female seals return to the same beaches to give birth — and the pups, born with white fur, stay close to their mothers for about three weeks before heading into the sea. In recent years, conservation efforts have helped the population thrive, turning this quiet stretch of coast into one of Britain’s most treasured wildlife spectacles. 🌍💚 \-\-\- **🚶‍♀️ Hike Details** **Distance**: 6–7 miles (easy and mostly flat) **Difficulty**: 🟢 Easy – suitable for all fitness levels **Terrain**: Sand dunes, grassy paths, and beach sections **Duration**: Around 3 hours (including photo stops and breaks) ***Please note: The seals are wild animals — if they approach you, do not touch them. Their mothers may abandon them if they smell human scent.*** **\-\-\-** ***💷 Cost & Payment*** 🎟️ £70 per person. Includes: ✅ Return coach transport from London. ✅ Guided coastal hike with a qualified and fully trained and experienced Hike leader. ✅ Organising costs and group coordination **💰 *£1 deposit required to reserve your seat — this event always sells out fast!*** ***All payments are non-refundable unless the event is cancelled by us.*** \-\-\- **🍱 Food & Refreshments** ***🥪 Bring your own packed lunch and water, as there are no shops on the beach.*** ***🍻 Optional pub meal at 4:00 PM (bring cash/card just in case).*** ***\-\-\-*** **🎒 What to Bring** Waterproof hiking shoes or boots 🥾 Warm, weatherproof clothing 🧥 Packed lunch + snacks 🍎 Water bottle 💧 Camera or phone for photos 📸 Good vibes and curiosity! 😄 \-\-\- ***☔ Weather & Safety.*** We go rain or shine! 🌦️ Please dress appropriately — it might be breezy or muddy in places.

**DESCRIPTION** Join us for a relaxed social hike through some of East London's most interesting green spaces, waterside paths and historic docklands, finishing with an exclusive axe-throwing session overlooking the Thames. We'll begin outside the V&A East in Stratford before making our way through the beautiful landscapes of Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, exploring the waterways, bridges and iconic venues left behind from the London 2012 Olympics. From there, we'll continue to Victoria Park, one of London's most loved green spaces, before taking a stroll through the lively Victoria Park Market. We'll stop at a beach-style riverside bar where there's an opportunity to relax, grab a drink and enjoy the atmosphere before continuing our journey. The route then heads south through the Docklands, passing historic canals, striking modern architecture and impressive waterfront views. We'll follow the Thames Path towards Tower Hamlets/Towhill, enjoying panoramic views across the river as we approach our final destination. ## The Grand Finale: Axe Throwing! Our hike concludes with a one-hour instructor-led axe-throwing experience. ✅ Exclusive lane for our group ✅ Professional instructor provided ✅ Suitable for complete beginners ✅ Friendly competitions and challenges ✅ Food and drinks available to purchase onsite Whether you've thrown an axe before or are giving it a go for the first time, it's a fantastic way to round off the day with plenty of laughs and a little friendly competition. All participants receive a full safety briefing and coaching from our instructors before throwing, and an instructor will be with us throughout the session. All participants are also required to sign a waiver before taking part which I’ll send in due course. **Social media pic of this event previously:** New event **WHAT TO EXPECT - HIKING INFO** **Distance: 17km** **Ascent: c.39m** **Estimated Duration 4-5 hours.** **Difficulty: \*[Moderate](https://www.aaahiking.co.uk/hike-grade)** **WHAT TO EXPECT - PREVIOUS DAY HIKE REELS** * [2025 SUNSET Seven Sisters Social hike, Sunset Seaford Swim...
